See that crack at the foot of the mountain?

It looks like an open wound from a khanjar dagger

Anxiety is my flame, step through it like a salamander

My life is stagnant in a puddle, exhaling miasma

Come here to me

Come here to Darktar

Dark like the masses, star without the S

For every contact I am the disease, I am herpes

I'm dead, I'm absent

I am the Crow, I am Sandman

I wake up and cry like the Berserk pendant

I love this dark and warm lake, in which I immerse myself

That, if I roll up my sleeves, I feel cold

I have a fragile, fragile soul, which is made of glass

But, if you speak to my vale of tears, you feel the ego

Do you know what I discovered?

That my talent is in feeling sorry for myself

Streams of black bitumen smear my face

I let it rain in my temple, from my scholar

I'm gross, like a sandpiper in the pipeline

My fears are zombies

In the swamp as Swamp Thing

Out of light and comfort

In this day and age, you are only as good as you suffer, Johnny Knoxville

I cry bitumen, I spit tar

I bleed pitch, that's fine

I cry bitumen, I spit tar

I bleed pitch, that's fine

Call me Darktar, Darktar

Love me Darktar, Darktar

Take a photo with me

I am the myth of the cave

From my eternal anxiety, the dark side of weakness

Dive into my slime lake, like a canadair

In the swamp we do the dance of the Maccabees

You can't take me off my boards

I stand sideways, like the bishop does

I sink into the pitch, like a barter

In my kingdom, we have white flags

I am no longer capable, the offense whitens me

Modes sink their blades, then change back

Outside, they forged me, a suspended cage

I'm safe here, like a scandal in church

Character that sticks to me, I deserve the Oscar

Best actor to sacrifice

Arouse guilt

It's my sneaky way of making me love you, then

I cry bitumen, I spit tar

I bleed pitch, that's fine

I cry bitumen, I spit tar

I bleed pitch, that's fine

Call me Darktar, Darktar

Love me Darktar, Darktar

You cry bitumen, you spit tar

You bleed pitch, that's good

You cry bitumen, you spit tar

You bleed pitch, that's good

Call me Darktar, Darktar

Love me Darktar, Darktar

I cry bitumen, I spit tar

I bleed pitch, that's fine

I cry bitumen, I spit tar

I bleed pitch, good like this, good like this

bitume — bitumen / asphalt

Bitume translates to "bitumen" or "asphalt". It's an unusual and striking word to find in song lyrics, immediately grabbing attention.

Caparezza uses "bitume" metaphorically to describe his tears, singing "Piango bitume" (I cry bitumen). This creates a powerful and dark image of his sorrow, suggesting tears that are thick, black, and heavy, reflecting the song's themes of anxiety and inner turmoil. It's a unique and memorable way to express deep sadness.

Welcome to the dark and swampy world of "Darktar," a character created by the Italian artist Caparezza. The song invites you into a landscape of deep anxiety, where a crack in a mountain looks like a wound from a dagger and life feels stuck in a stagnant puddle. The singer introduces himself as Darktar, a name that plays on the words "dark" and "star." He is a figure who lives in the shadows, comparing himself to a crow, the mythical Sandman, and even a monster from a swamp.

Instead of fighting his sadness, Darktar embraces it. He declares that his greatest talent is self-pity, crying tears of black bitumen and bleeding pitch. He finds a strange comfort in his dark lake, feeling that in today's world, "you are worth as much as you suffer." He even suggests that making others feel guilty is his sneaky way of getting them to love him. It's a powerful and poetic exploration of finding one's identity in the darkest parts of the human mind.
